<p>It wasn't just the language barrier though that was part of the problem. Very soon into the Closing Concert of the Princeton Chinese Music Festival at Carnegie Hall, it became apparent that the printed program was a jumble. I found it strange that the program content for such an event was primarily in Chinese, but was willing to accept the fact that a predominantly Chinese and Chinese-American audience would benefit for a Chinese program. I also understood that "Princeton" didn't necessarily mean…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6112334/unraveling-the-mystery">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>Following a conversation recently at an Educators' Conference, I am compelled to offer some additional commentary about one line of the lyrics in Leyla Saz's&nbsp;<em>Victory March. (First discussed here in the Feb. 26 post)&nbsp;</em>It has always been known to me that the name Enver in the fifth line of the lyrics refers to Enver Pasha (General Pasha). While I make the case that this particular March reflects a revolutionary period in Turkey's history and a continuation generally towards Westernization and modernization…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6112335/victory-march-commentary">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>With Webster Hall bursting at the seams for <a href="http://www.globalfest.org" target="_blank">GlobalFest 2013</a> on Sunday, it was clear to most in the audience that the venture has grown beyond a single evening event. Intended as a large world music showcase for 12 artists on 3 stages at the annual presenters conference in New York (<a href="http://www.apap.org" target="_blank">www.apap.org</a>), the concert has been heavily weighted toward pop-rock fusion styles for several years running.
